Very lame. This is more like a Vlog than a TED talk. Remember when TED talks were exciting, insightful and informative? Petridge farms remembers.
This is just sad. A sad woman who was never told that her ideas were silly or stupid.

Wow. Very lame. Boring. And not to be “that guy” but this isn’t AI by any means (trust me). Also, 600 pages isn’t enough and you wasted your time.

I was thinking of doing a TED talk about walking my dog. Not that walking my dog is particularly interesting in any way, so it would fit in nicely with these modern TED talks. Just boring thoughts about regular stuff with no insight or deeper meaning. Perfect.

Yes, the Ai is an HDR mirror of ourselves and our/your bias another Narcissist Mirror tale. Yawn.
Your father playing with virtual dolls, like his Minksy, is laughable.
I can’t wait to dress my own Ray Kurzweil doll up with different outfit each day!

Nope, this is just plane wrong and completely unhealthy. Give it 15 years and our AI loved ones will be trying to sell us car insurance

Just like the Black Mirror episode ‘Be right back’… only without the angst of her mistaking it for the real thing.

utterly disappointed in the shallowness of topic and the thoughtless presentation. These are the people who wants to put AI into everything and then say ”what good does AI make’

This is very bizzare and disrespectful to the dead.
Only thing that can animate life is Life itself. It is right.
Everything else is just scary

So this is like going to someone who “communicates with the dead”. You’ll change your impression and identity of a dead person based on a computer. This is a TERRIBLE idea.

This platform used to inspire people and host people that had actual life changing ideas. It has lost its reputation so much that so many documentaries by common youtubers are more informative.
Every other video these days is “hey look AI”. 99% of content uploaded here nowadays is more generic than a common news headline.

How do you think this technology will evolve? Could we see a future where AI preserves even more detailed aspects of our loved ones, like mannerisms or emotions?

This is wrong!!!! The dead one has rights. Plus griefbots impact in the most negative way the grieving process !!!

As a person who has lost a massive amount of my family, your AI will NEVER be able to bring them back. Your posturing is hollow. You don’t even realize how soulless this is, do you? Your pockets are lined with bills, why would you?

Wow, I’m reading a lot of displeased people. In my opinion, like all technology, the problem lies in who uses it and how they use it.
If she wants to feel like she’s talking to her grandfather, to get to know him a little better through interactions with an algorithm that interprets his diaries, in other cases there are those who seek solace in spiritualist sessions to contact someone who has passed away, I think the tool each person uses to grieve or to have more understanding is valid, as long as it doesn’t harm others or themselves, and perhaps to an outsider it seems like an offense to the memory of the ancestor, but we won’t know that, maybe the ancestor would feel good knowing that his granddaughter wants to know him a little better, maybe that’s how she feels.
Regarding those who criticize the quality of the TedTalks, their criticism is also valid, there are topics that will be of interest to them and others not, if everything were homogeneous in life we would be a very boring society.
This Tedtalk didn’t enchant me, but I find it interesting.

If you know “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, this concept is already known to you, as in the series the Holodeck (you could call it “EnvironmentGPT”) is able to recreate individuals using statistical probability based on documentation of their character, including all audio and video recordings and writings in the database. Several episodes show that; like the character of Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes or dead relatives like Wesley Crushers father or living (but not available) characters of a profession like Dr. Lea Brahms, the inventor of the next generation Warp Drive.

I liked the speech very much. It is the message of a sensitive, intelligent brave woman – a personal, authentic, true story. This is what discrimination as well as extermination looked like in Germany. Grat respect for the traumatized family

A chatbot will not fill the gaping void left behind by the loss of a loved one because it is not them and it is not real. It’s artificial. Delude yourself and pretend if you like, but do so at the cost of your real memories and experiences as they get replaced by the simulacrum.

People tend to indulge such chatbot, LLM. Pretend it thinks like human, but they are just algorithms. You cannot get the true past. But a self comfort, nothing more
